This week, President Trump made headlines when he confirmed he was secretly removed from Air Force One in Turkey last month, following a credible threat from Iran.

The confirmation came days after The Washington Post reported on an elaborate ruse to keep the president safe.

This episode was produced by Mia Venkat and Jordan-Marie Smith, with audio engineering by Damian Herring. Our director is Jonas Adams.

It was edited by Kelsey Snell, Sarah Handel and Tinbete Ermyas.

Our interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning.

Democrats want to take back Congress. Did Tuesday’s primaries reveal a path forward?

The scene of President Trump boarding Air Force One after last month’s NATO summit in Turkey is one that TV cameras and photographers have captured countless times. 

What happened in the moments after that was far from routine, according to exclusive reporting from the Washington Post.

The Post reports that Trump was shuttled in an airport catering truck to a smaller military plane in which he then secretly departed, even as the White House announced he was flying aboard Air Force One.

The operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, a U.S. official familiar with the operation told the Post.

We should note that NPR has not independently confirmed this reporting.

New information about how the White House handled the president’s security is raising questions about safety and transparency.

This episode was produced by Elena Burnett and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Tiffany Vera Castro and Ted Mebane. Our director is Kai McNamee.

Our interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning who also edited today’s episode along with Janaya Williams.

The elaborate ruse used to conceal Trump's whereabouts

President Trump's Department of Justice walked away from the case against David “Davey” Hearn.

Prosecutors charged Hearn with vandalism in relation to peeling paint in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The charges have since been dismissed.

But President Trump can't let the case go .

Trump continues to insist it was so-called vandalism that led to peeling paint and blooming algae on the National Mall reflecting pool – not a botched repair project as prosecutors ultimately concluded.

What's it like to have the President beat the drum for your arrest?

Peeling paint, the reflecting pool and the case Trump can't let go

Part of what has made Iran so effective in the war with the U.S. is its vast network of allies in the region. Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran-backed Iraqi militias are often referred to as the “Axis of Resistance.”

Peter Salisbury, a professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, explains the Axis of Resistance and how it’s shaping the war.

This episode was produced by Henry Larson and Daniel Ofman

It was edited by Sarah Robbins and Michael Levitt.
